Young student in Piedras Negras
Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80, Fujifilm Fujicolor 200
2006

This boy saw me taking a picture of another fellow and it was clear (though I speak no Spanish) that he wanted his taken too. He had that slow speech pattern where the hard consonants often get passed over. Piedras Negras, the town we were in, became “Pee-ay-ras Nay-ras.”
